Hi,

is it possible to set different alert tones for different mailboxes? I have both work and personal mailboxes, and would like to be able to distinguish which account mail is arriving to.

If this can't be done with the stock app (which I doubt), are there any other apps that anyone knows of? Alternatively, does anyone know if an event is triggered when mail is received that an app could be created to intercept?

Thanks,

First off, as always, if this causes any damage, or loss of anykind anyhow anyway I am not at fault, don't blame me.

So you rooted? But no longer want root? or want to downgrade to 1.5 with an ruu? or want to flash one of the PB00IMG like the root one with an engineering bootloader?

Tonight I made another custom misc.img, it is attached to this post. You will also need flash_image which can be found here. http://www.multiupload.com/KS2JCAMGBH

Run these commands as root:

adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb push misc.img /data/local/misc.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img

Now you can flash any known (to me) ruu or PB00IMG

Oh my bad thought you said while back it had a bad radio and you got a Droid. I guess no more assuming lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
The hits keep on coming!

I suppose this should work equally well for PB00IMG.ZIP installs (from the corresponding RUUs), yes?

This should make life easier for "unrooters"; now if there just some way to convince them that there is really only 1 reason to unroot a phone ;)

[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
my only reason for unrooting is sending my phone back ......which i will be doing this weekend..... refurb is suppose to be here today

Hey I am not understanding what to do either. I have a rooted eris that the screen started flaking out so i Have to send it back.

I rooted alright and I have a basic understanding of the recovery stuff. But could you guys either tell me what to do from scratch on this one or point me in the right direction.

I've been searching the forum for 2 weeks trying to learn how. My kids are teasing me now cuz all I do at home try to learn about this stuff. Well anyway I would appreciate some help.:D:D:D:D:D

I have just opened a can of worms

Wow!!! I truly did not realize the full extent of what yous guys are doing on this website. You are smart people!!! hahahaha I opened a can of worms and can't get it shut again.

You guys are the ones writing and developing all kinds of programs.

i hope you guys arent taking this the wrong way!!!

I honestly didnt realize till I researched and found the HTC Developers center.

I have no buisness trying to do any of this stuff!

If some can help me out I would appreciate it!!!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Don't make this more complicated than it is. It's real simple.

1. Install android sdk.

2. Download flash_image & misc.img

3. Put them in the sdk tools dir.

4. Connect phone to computer.

5. Run 4 commands from command prompt.

Done.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tophunterz:
You make it sound so Easy

K! here it goes. I'll try itsense you put it that way. COOL

I am trying to get back to root to return a defective Eris.

When I type the first command:

>adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image

cannot stat 'flash_image': No such file or directory

I have put the flash_image file I downloaded from the OP into the tools folder. The same folder that adb.exe is in. I don't understand what I am doing wrong

Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tophunterz:
I think im gunna throw in the towel

I think my porblem is that I dont have SDK setup properly on my PC.

I just am not that expierienced with this programming.

I guess Ill have to send my flaky phone back with Ivan's Official Verizon ROM and hope for the best.

The only Problem is it has Superuser and two wireless tether app Icon's

Does anyone know how to get those off of there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Romparoo:
Well I did this and didn't have a problem. Tried flashing leakv3 and kept getting (bad) and can't get it to flash. I just got my replacement today and need to get this one sent back. Not sure if it matters what ROM I am using, I am on xtrSense 3.0

Edit: I figured it out. Had to flash power/volume down, and not thru recovery power/volume up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Romparoo:
Now I can't seem to get this to work.

Believe it or not, my insurance replacement phone from Asurion is a POS, screen is defective, replacement for my replacement, that originally replaced my first Eris (4th Eris now) will be here tomorrow.

So, Jcase, I rooted the new Eris last night with your rootapp (piece of cake), but now when I follow your instructions here I can't unroot or flash the same leakv3 ROM as I previously did.

After running the commands from the OP I notice that none of the root apps work. So I am thinking something is working somewhat. However when I try to flash the PB00IMG it doesn't work.

I even tried the original root method commands (http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53963-guide-stock-1-5-latest-root-2-1-a.html) then rebooted, then ran your commands and still nothing.

[Droid Eris Android Development] mmedley:
I was able to get the this RUU to work last night. Just plugged phone in and ran the RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed _with_driver.exe file.

I was tired of running EE4 with all its issues. I wasn't really having any issues with my stock Eris to begin with. I rooted and flashed ROM's just to see what all the hype was about. I never could find a stable enough ROM with all the features I use. As mentioned, I installed that RUU with no issues and I then re-rooted so that I may uninstall the useless apps like Amazon, etc.

For those who cannot get the above RUU to work I can give a little insight to how to use this method (although it did not work for me). I kept getting the "Device Not Found" error. I know I have everything setup correctly so I am not sure why it didn't work. I am on Windows 7 so this might be slightly different, but you should get the idea for other Windows versions. I have tried to make this as simple as possible.

You will need to download the following 2 files into you c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder before proceeding. You can get those files here:

flash_image:

misc.img:

Download the Android SDK

Extract the zip file to c:\android-sdk-windows\

Right click on 'My Computer' > Properties. In the 'System' window click on 'Advanced System Settings' on the left hand side.

In the 'System Properties' box click on the 'Advanced Tab' and then select the 'Environment Variables' button at the bottom of the dialog box.

In the 'Environment Variables' box in the lower boxed titled 'System Variables' scrool down to find the variable 'Path'. Highlight 'Path' and select the 'Edit' button. In the 'Variable Value' box go all the way to the end after the last value and place a ';' and then type 'c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\' without the quotes.

Press 'Okay' to close the 'Edit System Variable' dialog box.

Press 'Okay' to close the 'Environment Variables' dialog box.

Press 'Okay' to close the 'System Properties' dialog box.

Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

Go to 'Start' > 'Run' and type 'cmd' to open a MS-DOS window

Navigate to your phones 'drive'. Mine was k:\

Run the following code:

adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb push misc.img /data/local/misc.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img

I am not 100% sure if there are any additional following steps after this as it did not work for me, but that *should* do it.

XDA will not let me add links on my first post, but I will get those added back in ASAP. Good Luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jimbob_sf:
Apology if this sounds a bit terse, but I've been at this for 4 hours and I'm a bit frustrated. My Droid has been a piece of cake compared to the wife's Eris. Nothing but problems every step of the way.

This all started when I couldn't get the stock recovery image to load after following the downgrade thread tread. Every time i ran the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (step 3), I kept on getting failed remote: not allow error.

I found this thread that people point to as the "solution" and it doesn't answer the question of: what next? HOW do you install a different recovery image. This is the step I don't see here. Is this supposed to set the phone up so the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img is supposed to work? Is this supposed to put on a specific recovery image?? Someone out there must know how to link this whole thing together.

For this thread, I wasn't able to run the initial commands from the first post. The first 3 worked, but the 4th wouldn't. I found someone had a slightly different 4th line and that seemed to execute.

adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img

Also, it took trial and error, but I found that I had to boot into recovery and mount the SD card in order to run the adb commands. The fastboot commands only worked from the fastboot usb screen.

Help!

[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
The misc.img simply allows you to flash ruu's and PB00IMG.zip files regardless of bootloader version. Download and flash the official 2.1 ruu after following the directions on this thread and you will be 100% stock.

Only thing i can think of is to be sure the files are in the tools folder off your sdk. I pushed the files when the phone was booted regularly. Be sure usb debugging is on.

I have tried everything listed, googled for hours on end, and experimented for 3 days now. The last command does not work for me (i get the same misc.img not found bs... and I have exhausted all my options. ANYBODY have ANY ideas? Is the original poster still here? Why is everyone dancing around the fact like these people having the problem are doing something wrong? I have followed every step EXACTLY, and I know enough about the process and this kinda stuff in general to say I am doing everything right. PLEASE, I have 10 days to send my old droid back, and I have to get the root off it by then. Can we get some kind of answer?
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
We dance around the fact that maybe you did something wrong because it had worked fine for others. I have personally done this to multiple phones with no problems.

If it can't find the file, then obviously the file isn't where it should be. We are all capable of mistakes and to over look things. Best way to try to fix it is to start over. Reinstall your sdk, redownload the misc.img file, put it in the tools folder of your sdk and try to push again.

I'm not trying to be hateful, and I'm sorry of I'm coming off that way, just realize there is nothing wrong with the file as it has worked for many.

Yeah dude, chill. Just start over and try again. The process works. Post your steps here and maybe someone will see something in them that can be corrected.

And tone down your language. It's not like you paid for anything here or anything is owed to you by anyone on this forum. The original poster took the time to develop this and share this on his own.
[Droid Eris Android Development] blingboy31:
I do apologize, you know how those 3:00 AM posts are, I've been working on this for hours. I have reinstalled sdk, tried every suggested step on here. I'm just frustrated because there's no good reason that the file should show as missing when I try to execute the 4th command.
[Droid Eris Android Development] blingboy31:
Here's a screenshot of command prompt. These are exactly my steps. This is the 3rd windows computer I've tried on, downloading a fresh sdk every time, and re-downloading flash_image and misc.img every time. I have tried with my phone in recovery mode, however, when i attempt to boot into recovery mode, I see a triangle with an exclamation point in it, and the green dude next to it. I can do the 1st and 2nd command, but the 3rd and 4th reference some odd file directory that is non-existent like bin/sh or something like that. This screenshot is when the phone is normally booted up, USB debugging enabled. As you can see in the last step, I just referenced the file through the full path, but even that didn't work. corrupt?

any ideas guys?
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
See now we've got something to work with.

1. You're missing some understood steps that's required when we say try it in recovery. The goal is to get, at a command prompt, when you type the command "adb devices" that your phone comes up as "HTxxxxxxxx recovery" When your phone is in recovery mode you can execute the last command.

2. To get there you need to root your phone. Look at the eris sticky they're a few different ways to root your phone.

3. Install Amon_Ra's recovery image and boot into recovery. This replaces the triangle and exclamation screen with a menu that lets you flash roms and other things. When you're in this menu this will automatically put your phone in recovery.

4. Once you got that, connect your phone to your computer when it's on that menu and you can do whatever you want to your phone then... like install misc.img :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] blingboy31:
I am already rooted - hence why I am trying to do this before I have to send the phone back to verizon for it's autopsy. I am trying to flash the recovery image, however it says "FAILED (remote: not allow)"
[Droid Eris Android Development] goldenstorm:
You could try the RUU from here...

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7187924

It worked for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] blingboy31:
Thanks, but I already have the Ruu I want to flash, I just am unable because of the phone's current state. I am following the guide on this topic so I will be able to flash that ruu and accomplish my ultimate goal of restoring the phone to completely stock so verizon will never know i rooted it. That is my mission here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] blingboy31:
I figured it out. followed this guide (http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/147868-restore-stock-bootloader-recovery.html) worked perfectly. Thanks for the suggestions anyway, I really appreciate it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dredgman:
I got the error file not found message, so I went with this sequence. This time the last time left me with a note about not having permission. Is there some other way to run as root from the terminal or through adb or something?

I apologize, I'm very new at this.

Oh, by the way, I was running these commands with my phone on in debug mode, but then rebooted and went into recovery mode. From recovery mode, the phone is no longer detected in the terminal. I tried "adb devices," and nothing came up.

EDIT:

It looks like I was able to install the PB001IMG.zip after all. I was getting the error message "Main version is older" and freaking out because I had the 1.49 bootloader which looked like it was a pain to get around.

Nope.

The biggest problem, I think, was that my PB001IMG file was corrupt. I ran an md5checksum, found out, and downloaded a new one. These two links may help.

Check out the link in the post above and definitely look into running an md5checkum

Doing this without ADB or command line (w/ custom recovery)

If you have a custom recovery (AmonRa or ClockworkMod) on your Eris, I set this up as a flashable zip file (attached).

Please note:

1) This is for the HTC Eris ONLY. You don't unzip it, you just flash it like you would a ROM from your custom recovery.

2) The included "misc.img" file which is flashed to the misc partition is from the OP

3) The Eris "misc" partition contains the CID; in this case "VZW__001". Folks who have have had their phones "flashed" to another carrier besides Verizon have reported that using this required their phones to be re-flashed again. (Makes sense, as the CID value is passed to the booting kernel by the bootloader).

Thanks to jcase for disclosing this so many moons ago.

although I think my HD2 is simply fantastic, i need a physical keyboard. I've had the HD2 for 6 months (?) now and I simply cannot type at the speeds I used to be able to on my old Tosh G900.

So, I want a high spec (like the Droid X), large 4"+ screen phone with a slide out keyboard. Apart from the Tosh KG02 (I think thats the model name) which appears to only be available in Asia, are there any out there or on the near horizon?

But maybe it's just me not using any fancy Exchange features :P
